OF John Timmons, Champaign Central, 2027 Uncommitted. Athletic 5-foot-11, 163-pounds with room to fill out in the future. Started in left field and batted second. Timmons showed a mature approach for a sophomore paired with some juice from the right side, hitting a long homer to the left-center gap in his second at-bat. He has a simple yet intentful swing that works uphill, paired with strong hands.
Positional Profile: C/2B
Body: 5-11, 148 pounds. Tall, wiry, frame, well-proportioned.
Hit: RHH. Taller, balanced setup, minimal leg lift and stride. Compact, athletic swing, balanced, polished with feel for the barrel, creates length through the zone at times. 67.1 mph bat speed with 14g of rotational acceleration.
Power: 91 mph max exit velocity (85.7 avg.).
Arm: RH. C - 72 mph. Compact, quick arm, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: 2.01-2.15 pop time range; Glove works low-to-high, quick first step, clean/quick transfer, works in-line.
Athletic Testing: 7.23 runner in the 60-yard dash; 22.60-inch max vertical jump.
Vizual Edge: 75.1 Edge Score.
Positional Profile: C/2B
Body: 5-11, 148-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Tall, narrow stance, small leg lift and stride. Short, quick hands, slightly uphill path, works all fields. 63.6 mph bat speed with 14 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 88 max exit velocity, averaged 74.8 mph. 282’ max distance.
Arm: RH. C - 73 mph. Compact arm path, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: 2.01-2.06 pop times. One-knee down stance, clean, quick transfer, works in-line on throws.
Run: 7.20 runner in the 60.
Portraying a strong, athletic, and proportionate 5-foot-10, 160-pound frame, Timmons contributed to Yard Goat’s 7-2 win over the Illinois Gators. Timmons reached base every time he was at bat by going 3-for-3 with three RBIs and a run scored. All three hits for Timmons were to left field, two of which were doubles. Mechanically, the right-handed batter has a small stride and compact swing keeping the bat close to his body. He turns on the ball quickly which allows him to pull the ball to left field.
Positional Profile: C/2B
Body: 5-10, 150-pounds. Wiry build with room to add strength.
Hit: RHH. Tall setup, slightly open base, small leg lift into short stride. Quick hands, looks to stay through the ball the other way, on the barrel to the opposite/middle of the field. 62.4 mph bat speed with 14 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 87 max exit velocity, averaged 77.5 mph. 294’ max distance.
Arm: RH. C - 71 mph. Short arm path, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: 2.16-2.32 pop times. Quick, deliberate transfer, gains ground through release.
Run: 7.39 runner in the 60.
